The DECK MATE
®
single and double deck card shuffler shuffles one or two decks
of 52 cards. Two sets of cards are required (usually different color decks) for
game play. While one is in play, the other is being shuffled.
Up to four cards can be added or subtracted from the total number of cards,
i.e., 52 +/- 4 cards or 104 +/- 4 cards.
The cards are counted as they are shuffled in. The shuffle is aborted if the
number of cards counted is different than the number of cards selected.
At the beginning of each cycle, the random number generator assigns a
compartment location within a vertical rack to each card of the un-shuffled
deck. The cards are loaded into a feeder. As the cards are feeding in (from the
bottom of the deck), the program executes the outcomes determined by the
RNG. A moveable platform positions the cards in the shuffling compartment to
the correct location. A set of grippers will grip the cards at that location and the
platform will move down creating a gap for the next card to be inserted.
When all the cards are inserted, the platform raises the shuffled deck to be used
by the dealer.
